Bill Arp's Photographs From The American Civil War From the Uncivil War to Date, 1861-1903: With An Original Compilation of Photographs from the American Civil War

The events of my father's life may be chronicled in a few lines, but it would take many pages to tell of the mental and spiritual gifts that made that life notable, and of its influence over a wide circle of known and unknown friends. Still more potent was the impress of his character upon those nearest to him, whose privilege it was to see him day by day and partake of the wit, wisdom, kindliness and humor that made him the most fascinating of companions to his children. He has himself told in this book the main incidents of his career; how his father, Asahel Reid Smith, a sturdy young son of Massachusetts, came South to teach school and married his fourteen-year-old pupil, pretty little Caroline Maguire, whose story as her son has written it, is most interesting and romantic. They were married near Savannah but later moved to Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, where my father was born on June 15th, 1826, the eldest of ten children. My grandfather became a thriving merchant of Lawrenceville, postmaster as well, and my father has told us many entertaining stories of the days when he used to "ride the mail" and sell ribbons and things to the girls. After some time spent in a manual labor school, he went to college at Athens, where he was the classmate and friend of many of the notable men of later days. He held his friends in the greatest esteem and affection, and it was one of the sorrows of his long life to see them pass away one by one.

Bill Arp's Peace Papers is a collection of essays and speeches written by the American humorist and journalist Bill Arp. Originally published in 1873, the book reflects on the aftermath of the American Civil War and the challenges faced by the nation as it sought to rebuild and move forward. Arp's writings offer a unique perspective on the war and its aftermath, as he was a Southern sympathizer who opposed secession but also believed in reconciliation and healing. The book covers a range of topics, from politics and economics to religion and social issues, and is written in Arp's signature folksy style, with plenty of humor and wit. Overall, Bill Arp's Peace Papers is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history and offers insights into the complex and often conflicting attitudes of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
